Camp is about so much more than candy 🦇

It’s about creating a fun, welcoming and safe place where everyone can experience the magic, excitement and a few friendly frights of the Halloween season!

Each fall, Confidence Learning Center celebrates Halloween with hundreds of kids and individuals with cognitive and developmental disabilities. We need YOUR help to make this Halloween one to remember!

Whether you donate one bag of treats or fill an entire box, every donation helps us create a spooktacular season filled with tricks, treats, fun, inclusion, adventure and plenty of sweet memories for our Camp community.

Help us scare up some candy and make this Halloween frightfully fun! 🎃👻🍬

📦 Drop off or ship your candy to:
1620 Mary Fawcett Memorial Drive, East Gull Lake, MN 56401
